This documentation is about cold migration. For live migration usage, see
:doc:`live-migration-usage`.
When you want to move an instance from one compute host to another, you can use
the :command:`openstack server migrate` command. The scheduler chooses the
destination compute host based on its settings. This process does not assume
that the instance has shared storage available on the target host. If you are
using SSH tunneling, you must ensure that each node is configured with SSH key
authentication so that the Compute service can use SSH to move disks to other
nodes. For more information, see :ref:`cli-os-migrate-cfg-ssh`.
When you want to move an instance from one compute host to another, you can
migrate the instance. The migration operation, which is also known as the cold
migration operation to distinguish it from the live migration operation,
functions similarly to :doc:`the resize operation </user/resize>` with the main
difference being that a cold migration does not change the flavor of the
instance. As with resize, the scheduler chooses the destination compute host
based on its settings. This process does not assume that the instance has shared
storage available on the target host. If you are using SSH tunneling, you must
ensure that each node is configured with SSH key authentication so that the
Compute service can use SSH to move disks to other nodes. For more information,
see :ref:`cli-os-migrate-cfg-ssh`.

To list the VMs you want to migrate, run:
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack server list
#. Use the :command:`openstack server migrate` command.
Once you have the name or UUID of the server you wish to migrate, migrate it
using the :command:`openstack server migrate` command:
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack server migrate VM_INSTANCE
$ openstack server migrate SERVER
#. To migrate an instance and watch the status, use this example script:
Once an instance has successfully migrated, you can use the :command:`openstack
server migrate confirm` command to confirm it:
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack server migrate confirm SERVER
Alternatively, you can use the :command:`openstack server migrate revert`
command to revert the migration and restore the instance to its previous host:
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack server migrate revert SERVER
.. note::
You can configure automatic confirmation of migrations and resizes. Refer to
the :oslo.config:option:`resize_confirm_window` option for more information.
